Psalm
Psalms, 135
1 Praise Jah, YOU people!*1 Praise the name of Jehovah, Offer praise, O servants of Jehovah,
|
2 YOU who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courtyards of the house of our God.
3 Praise Jah,*1 for Jehovah is good. Make melody to his name, for it is pleasant.
|
4 For Jah has chosen even Jacob for himself, Israel for his special property.
5 For I myself well know that Jehovah is great, And our Lord*1 is more than all [other] gods.*2
|
6 Everything that Jehovah delighted [to do] he has done In the heavens and in the earth, in the seas and all the watery deeps.*1
|
7 He is causing vapors to ascend from the extremity*1 of the earth; He has made even sluices*2 for the rain; He is bringing forth the wind*3 from his storehouses,
|
8 He who struck down the firstborn ones of Egypt, Both man*1 and beast.
|
9 He sent signs and miracles into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharʹaoh and upon all his servants;
10 He who struck down many nations And killed potent kings,
11 Even Siʹhon the king of the Amʹor·ites And Og the king of Baʹshan And all the kingdoms of Caʹnaan,
12 And who gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel his people.
13 O Jehovah, your name is to time indefinite. O Jehovah, your memorial is to generation after generation.*1
|
14 For Jehovah will plead the cause of his people, And he will feel regret even over his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of the hands of earthling man.*1
|
16 A mouth they have, but they can speak nothing; Eyes they have, but they can see nothing;
17 Ears they have, but they can give ear to nothing. Also there exists no spirit*1 in their mouth.
|
18 Those making them will become just like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19 O house of Israel, do YOU men bless Jehovah. O house of Aaron, do YOU men bless Jehovah.
20 O house of Leʹvi, do YOU men bless Jehovah. YOU fearers of Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Blessed out of Zion be Jehovah, Who is residing in Jerusalem. Praise Jah, YOU people!*1
